Paraiba Tourmalines: Vivid Neon Blues from Deep Within the Earth

Discover the Neon Magic of Paraiba Tourmalines

Recognized for their unreal neon blues and greens, Paraiba tourmalines are some of the most striking gems in the world. Their unique glow comes from copper and manganese, producing a vivid color that's instantly recognizable. 

One of the Rarest Tourmalines

First discovered in Brazil and later in Mozambique and Nigeria, these copper-rich tourmalines are among the rarest and most valuable. Their vibrant color—often compared to tropical waters or electric skies—makes them highly sought after by collectors and designers alike.

Perfect for Custom Jewelry

With a Mohs hardness of 7–7.5, Paraiba tourmalines are ideal for engagement rings, statement pendants, and earrings. Even with minor inclusions, their color takes center stage.

October Birthstone with a Twist

Tourmaline is one of the official birthstones for October. Paraiba adds a bold, electric twist to the month’s traditional gem offerings.
